The past month has flown by. I have gotten into the groove of working at Marquis Jet and everything seems to come a lot easier than it did just a few weeks ago. My internship consists mostly of sales and I have talked to quite a few people who love the product and are very interested, though none have ultimately bought the 25 hour jet card. The product that Marquis sells is a large capital commitment by a normal person’s standard. However, the market that it is aimed at is well within the reaches of using Marquis frequently even within the tough economic environment. I have come to realize that buying a jet card is something that takes time and can really take months to close just one deal. It’s not that these people don’t want to fly with Marquis it is that they are usually just very very busy or do not want to take the chance on something new with all of the commitments they currently have. It is for this reason that we must find some underlying need that these people have to sway them away from their current provider. Most of the people that are in our target market are flying charter jet. The difference between charter and Marquis is enormous, and I think it would really take a test flight to see that. If the product were not so costly to test then it would be a great idea to give a trail flight to every charter customer with an income greater than 5 million. After seeing what a difference Marquis Jet has to offer I’m convinced that they would be inclined to switch.

Hey Shane,
Could you send me the current fuel surcharge on a Citation X and a GIV with Marquis?
Thanks…
